On tap at Beer Deluxe, Sydney. Crystal clear amber beer with thin film of suds on top. Smells of lollies, popcorn, and sideshow alley. Thin body, sweet taste. Corn finish. Really is a fairground version of a kolsch. Fun in a glass!

The flavour is light bitter sweet with a crisp, refereeing, malt After Eight peppermint palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Just as it says on the tin.
